INDIAN LANDS

There Is growing demand that the
Indian Territory be opened up for set
Element, and an investigation shows
that the Indians now favor alIotting
the lands in severalty, 100 acres to
every head of a family, and then sell
the remainder to the government.
The five tribes that occupy the Terri
tory have population of 81 900 and
have 1915, 900 acres. After dividing
this land and giving every resident IGO
acres, there would be vast amount
left, which, if 1t were sold, and the
proceeds divided, would put the In
dams in very good financial circum-
stances.
The subject has been generally dis
cussed and the impression is that the
approaching congress will take some
action in the matter and settle it.
The country is full of squatters
along the western and northern borders
of the territory. They have planted
themselves and are waiting to lump.
The Indian territory to-day is virtually
made up of white people. They hold
office, take a part in the affairs of
government and express their views
the same as the Indian, outside of a
few individual advantages they claim
through citizenship. The immense
amount Of land held by the various
tribes, and which is lying idle, causes
great comment and surprise to every
one.
The Indians see that they must SOON
er or later submit to the invasion of
white men, and they will prefer to
make all the money they can out OF
what must occur anyway.

We have read the speech of Hon.
John Sherman, delivered at Spring
field, ILL.,, last week. 1t was the KEY
note to his presidential campaign, and
1t left no uncertainty as TO what his
line will be. The speech was most vio-
lently partisan, the democracy being
held responsible for the rebellion
and charged with being made up even
now of rebels wholly. The speech did
not please the republicans, it appears,
for poll of the house of representa-
tives OF the Illinois legislature, after
the speech, showed two republican
members for Blaine TO one for Sher-
man.
